Easter Around the World
United States
- Celebrations are a mix of religious traditions, secular customs, like church services, Easter egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, and candy.
Italy
- Deeply religious. Easter (Pasqua) centers on Mass at the Vatican and processions in towns across the country.
- No chocolate bunnies here—giant chocolate eggs with surprises inside are the go-to gift.
Spain
- Poignant Holy Week (Semana Santa) processions.
Germany
- Home of the Easter egg tree (decorated branches).
- Celebrations include Easter fires, symbolizing the end of winter and the return of light.
Australia
- Easter Bunny gets competition from the Easter Bilby, a native marsupial, used to raise awareness for wildlife conservation.
- Four-day weekend includes sports, festivals, and church.
